What's That ?! - Recycled

It's time for another edition of "What's That?!" Have a look at these lovely pieces of art below from Marang Studios.

If you've been working with these materials, you might already recognize them given the colorations of the art pieces. Any guesses?

It's one of my favorite things to work with right now. Rolled magazine pages. I absolutely adore the color possibilities!

I've actually started another project with magazines. This time I'm not rolling...I'm folding...kind of. Fingers crossed I can make it work and share it with you. Otherwise it will most certainly end up in my 'epic fail' file. That would actually be a good one to share with you one day as well. I guess I'm not alone with my list of failed projects?

Brenda - there is no sewing involved...just a little glue. Those lines you see are actually the edges of the rolled paper. Look at this link and you'll see how magazine pages can be cut in order to create different shaped 'beads'.

Well hello there! My name is Mike and I started Blue Velvet Chair as a collection point for the best recycled and repurposed DIY inspiration from around the world. Have a seat in the blue velvet chair, kick up your feet, and enjoy!
